Online impressions of the iPhone X are generally favorable, CNET's Scott Stein says, it's a winning evolution of the iPhone.
Representatives of Facebook, Google, and Twitter took part in a series of Congressional hearings in order to find out what impact the Russian government may have had in the 2016 US Presidential election.
In one hearing US Senators expressed their frustration with the tech giants.
Senator Mark Warner said, 'you showed a lack of resources, committment, and a lack of genuine effort.' Senator Diane Feinstein warned that the companies must make changes to the way they handle content or the government will make changes by way of regulation.
